The eisbock story is a fun lore of beer myth, a hapless brewery employee left a barrel of doppelbock outside during a snowstorm in Germany and some of the beer froze, concentrating flavor and thus creating a whole new beer style. While the roots of this story may not wholly be true, it's a fun addition to a beer style made by distillation processes at its most base level. These beers are rare in the United States as you need special licenses to make them but in Europe, the rules are a bit different and in some European countries, these beers, not just eisbocks, have taken on a life of their own. And this is before we start talking about other drinks like the amazing ice cider made by freeze distillation. How does the freezing process work and what changes does it make to these drinks? This month on the All About Beer podcast, we talk to three guests with unique views on this chilly process. Visit AllAboutBeer.com for more podcasts, to read original articles, and to get info on upcoming events.Click here to support independent journalism covering the beer industry.This Episode is Sponsored by:HopsteinerThis episode is brought to you by LLZ™ - Hopsteiner's new water-soluble citrus aroma extract.

Welcome to episode #1017 of Thinking With Mitch Joel (formerly Six Pixels of Separation). At a time when technology promises limitless capability yet leaves so many people mentally depleted, the question is no longer whether digital tools are powerful, but whether we know how to live with them. Paul Leonardi is a leading expert on digital transformation, the future of work, and organizational networks, with more than two decades of research and advisory work focused on how technology reshapes collaboration, innovation, and human behavior. A professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara, where he holds the Duca Family Endowed Chair and chairs the Department of Technology Management, Paul has advised Fortune 500 companies, startups, and nonprofits on navigating the people side of technological change. His work has shaped global conversations, translating rigorous research into practical frameworks leaders can actually use. His latest book, Digital Exhaustion - Simple Rules For Reclaiming Your Life, confronts a growing paradox of modern work and life: technologies that make everything possible are also wearing us down. Drawing on years of research and real-world observation, Paul explains why digital exhaustion isn't simply about screen time, but about constant task switching, inference-making in data-saturated environments, and the emotional toll of being perpetually reachable. He examines how capitalist incentives and addictive design amplify fatigue, why generational differences don't offer immunity, and how the collapse of clear boundaries between work, home, and identity has created a new baseline of psychological strain. Rather than advocating withdrawal or digital detoxes, Paul offers a more realistic path rooted in intentionality, clearer norms, and conscious choices about which tools deserve our attention. His work reframes exhaustion not as personal failure, but as a systemic condition that can be managed through better design, better habits, and a more humane relationship with technology.

We tend to divide our experience into two parts, which we usually name ‘good' and ‘bad'. And we do so for good reason - to belong in our family systems and communities, to keep a particular image or identity going, because we are afraid of what and what we will be if we let love, or joy, or anger, or longing touch us. But the cost is high - in realness, in capacity to bringing our gifts to the world, in our fully taking up the possibilities of this one precious life. So how might we welcome and reinclude that which has been split off? And how might we do so in a way that is life-giving, mature, and responsive to our cares, concerns and commitments?

Here's our source for this week: Undividing Ourselves We all tend to divide experience into two parts, usually the good and the bad. But there may be all kinds of suspicious things going on in this splitting. We may simply have never considered the value in certain things we reject. Or by branding certain experiences as negative, we may be protecting ourselves from some unknown fears. We are all filled with biases and ideas that have snuck into us without our knowing it. Much soul can be lost in such splitting, so that care of the soul can go a long way simply by recovering some of this material that has been cut off.

This conversation with Dave Snowden (LI) and founder of the Cynefin Co came on the podcast and we spoke of complexity. Discerning it from systems thinking, why he's been so critical of the inner development goals, getting the critique on experts right. We spoke of change, direction, working with the substrate. Why workshops are suboptimal or even damaging, why practice is what makes perfect. We spoke about waymaking, micro-empathic moments. We spoke of agency, affordance and assemblage, patterns over precision and much much more. This conversation is an excellent primer for those curious about complexity as well as those that consider themselves well versed. We speak of the fundamentals and the essentials in very practical ways. Enjoy!

Vayechi | David's Last Words: Moral Complexity and Leadership, by Rav Eli Weber Understanding moral complexity reveals the Haftara's deepest wisdom about leadership and ethics. I Melakhim 2:1 - 2:12 This shiur examines the Haftara for Parshat Vayechi, which parallels King David's final charge to his son Shlomo with Yaakov's blessings to his children. The Haftara divides into two contrasting sections that seem almost contradictory, religious wisdom followed by orders to kill!

In this conversation, Steve Fouts and Tr33 explore a quote by George Washington: “It's better to be alone than in bad company.” They discuss the claim of the quote, unpacking the nuances of solitude, comfort, and the complexities of social relationships. They emphasize the importance of self-awareness, unpack the subjective nature of what constitutes 'bad company,' and the potential for redemption in individuals often labeled as negative influences. The discussion highlights the balance between the need for companionship and the risks associated with negative social circles, ultimately emphasizing the importance of understanding oneself and the impact of one's choices.Episode Chapters: 00:00 - Introduction to the Quote01:24 - The Value of Solitude05:40 - Comfort vs. Discomfort11:10 - The Complexity of Bad Company15:40 - Counterclaims and Perspectives20:59 - Subjectivity of Bad Company25:29 - Reflections on Personal Experiences32:45 - Conclusion and Final ThoughtsImage Source: Gilbert Stuart, CC0, via Wikimedia Commons https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:George_Washington_MET_87J_FRTS5M.jpg

Ich habe in den vergangenen Jahren ja immer wieder mit Biologen über verschiedene Themen gesprochen, und eine sehr spannende Frage, die hier und da aufgetaucht ist lautet: was ist eigentlich die Definition von Leben? Oder anders ausgedrückt: wie können wir Leben von Nicht-Leben unterscheiden? Aber gleich vorweg gesagt: diese biologische Frage ist faszinierend und leitet die Episode ein, ist per se nicht das Thema dieser Folge, sondern nur eines von mehreren Beispielen; wie etwa der Frage, was Wissenschaft von Nicht-Wissenschaft unterscheidet, was ist Intelligenz, was ist Energie und nicht zuletzt — was ist Pornographie? Aber diese Beispiele dienen einer viel fundamentaleren Frage: wie kann ein wesentliches Gebäude gebaut werden, wenn das Fundament aus Sand besteht? Und kann dieses Gebäude überhaupt nützlich sein? Zusammenfassend die Zitate dieser Episode: NASA-Definition von Leben “Life is a self-sustaining chemical system capable of Darwinian evolution.” Lee Cronin's Definition: »Life is the universe developing a memory.« Richard Feynman schreibt: »It is important to realize that in physics today, we have no knowledge of what energy is. We do not have a picture that energy comes in little blobs of a definite amount. It is not that way. However, there are formulas for calculating some numerical quan-tity, and when we add it all together it gives ... always the same number. It is an abstract thing in that it does not tell us the mechanism or the reasons for the various formulas. « Karl Popper: »the belief in the importance of the meanings of words, especially definitions, was almost universal. The attitude which I later came to call “essentialism”« »the principle of never arguing about words and their meanings, because such arguments are specious and insignificant.« »This, I still think, is the surest path to intellectual perdition: the abandonment of real problems for the sake of verbal problems.« Dwight D. Eisenhower: »Plans are worthless but planning is everything« Generalfeldmarschall Helmuth Karl Bernhard von Moltke: »Kein Plan überlebt die erste Feindberührung« Referenzen Andere Episoden Episode 137: Alles Leben ist Problemlösen Episode 132: Fragen an die künstliche Intelligenz — eine konstruktive Irritation Episode 129: Rules, A Conversation with Prof. Lorraine Daston Episode 123: Die Natur kennt feine Grade, Ein Gespräch mit Prof. Frank Zachos Episode 121: Künstliche Unintelligenz Episode 106: Wissenschaft als Ersatzreligion?

Watch the video and share your thoughts in the Zion Lab community Links A Modern Guide to an Old Testament BYU Religious Studies Center: rsc.byu.edu Kerry Muhlestein: “A Savior with a Sword” Blue Letter Bible BibleHub NetBible.org NRSVUE Bible: New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition Transcript available with the video in the Zion Lab community Key Insights Understanding Genres: The Old Testament contains various literary genres, including poetry, narrative, and prophecy. Recognizing these genres is crucial for proper interpretation and enhances the reading experience. Challenges of the Old Testament: The text is lengthy and covers a vast historical period, which can be overwhelming. It also includes complex themes such as violence and cultural practices that may challenge modern readers. Christ in the Old Testament: Jehovah, the Lord in the Old Testament, is identified as the premortal Jesus Christ. Understanding this connection allows readers to see Christ’s active role throughout the text, not just in prophecies of His mortal ministry. Resources for Study: Utilizing various resources, including the Come Follow Me manual, podcasts, and online tools, can enhance understanding and provide context for difficult passages. Addressing Difficult Questions: It is acceptable for teachers to admit when they do not know the answer to a question. This honesty fosters a learning environment and encourages further exploration of the scriptures. Leadership Applications Encouraging Engagement: Leaders can promote a deeper understanding of the Old Testament by encouraging members to explore its genres and themes, helping them to appreciate its relevance to their faith. Creating a Supportive Environment: By modeling humility and openness about not having all the answers, leaders can create a safe space for discussion and inquiry, allowing members to feel comfortable asking questions. Utilizing Resources: Leaders should leverage available resources, such as the new institute manuals and online tools, to prepare lessons that are informative and engaging, ensuring that the focus remains on the scriptures themselves.

The biggest threat to consumer financial health isn't inflation, stagnant wages, or market volatility, but the financial system itself. Not because it's failing, but because it's been silently optimized to benefit the most educated, the wealthiest, and the most sophisticated players. In the new book Fixed, a harsh truth is revealed: from daily saving and borrowing to education loans, insurance, and retirement planning, personal finance is designed to disadvantage the very people it seeks to help. Complexity becomes a source of profit. Friction turns into a deliberate feature. And billions of people, from young families to aging retirees, are left making high-stakes decisions within a system stacked against them. Today on Banking Transformed, I'm joined by the co-author of the book, Tarun Ramadorai. We explore how we got here, why consumers struggle with even the most basic financial choices, and most importantly, what it will take to restore fairness, trust, and transparency. If you care about the future of consumer banking, financial well-being, or rebuilding confidence in the system, this is a conversation you can't afford to miss.

Bugs. Some of them we enjoy more than others! But there's no denying they're a part of life. And though they're small, they're examples of big engineering and design. Today, host Andrew McDiarmid welcomes Discovery Institute staffer Kate Kavanaugh to discuss ID Education Days, whole-day experiences hosted by the Center for Science and Culture and geared specifically for middle and high school students in home or private school settings. Lately, the theme of these events has focused on the creepy crawly complexity found within the world of insects and invertebrates. Far from being mere nuisances, these creatures function as tiny engineers that elegantly solve complex problems to sustain global ecosystems. Kavanaugh highlights insights from recent ID Education Day events and explains the importance of studying even tiny examples of intelligent design in nature. Source

In this end-of-year episode, host Peter Bauman (Le Random's Editor-in-Chief) is joined by thefunnyguys (Le Random CEO) and Collection Lead Conrad House to look back on 2025: its biggest storylines, their favorites of the year and what they're watching in 2026.They unpack a defining tension of the year: as crypto-native attention and prices stayed weak, institutional and traditional-art adoption of digital art kept accelerating. The conversation moves through platform and ecosystem shifts (VVV's rise, Verse as gallery infrastructure, Art Blocks nearing the end of AB 500, Fxhash's next chapter). Next is a discussion of “worlds”—protocol stacks getting richer, more modular, and increasingly entangled with AI, physical spaces and simulation.They close with Le Random highlights (including Raster and a more nimble publishing rhythm), personal favorites of the year, and a forward look at Node Foundation in Palo Alto, Canyon in New York, Colección Solo in Madrid, and Zero 10's next iteration in Hong Kong.Mentioned:"Ian Goodfellow on Inventing GANs""THE PEOPLE ARE IN THE COMPUTER—PART I" on Alec Radford (most popular piece of 2025)"The Ultraintelligent Machine and Gaberbocchus Common Room" by Jasia Reichardt and Our 100th article"Drifella III: Room for Complexity" - 4,000+ word deep dive on Evil Biscuit's classic"Parker Ito and Evil Biscuit on Possessed Spirits""Standout Artwork of 2025"Chapters

In this episode of the Moral Imagination Podcast I speak with Magatte Wade about her book, The Heart of Cheetah, her personal journey, entrepreneurial ventures, and her vision for a free and prosperous Africa. Magatte was key voice and important influence in the film I directed, Poverty, Inc. She is a force for promoting freedom, the dignity of the person, and entrepreneurial solutions to poverty in Africa and throughout the world. I've know Magatte for many years and am delighted to have her on the podcast. We discuss the misconceptions surrounding African poverty and the need for economic freedom and institutions of justice – private property, rule of law, and ability to participate in the formal economy - for fostering opportunity and human flourishing for the poor. At the end of our conversation we also talk about poverty in America, the American dream from the perspective of an immigrant, emphasizing the need for a balance between material prosperity and moral values. Magatte emphasizes that Africa will only thrive through entrepreneurship, political and economic freedom, and a commitment to rule of law and human dignity.Biography Magatte Wade is founder of SkinIsSkin, and Senior Fellow at Atlas Network, the leading organization of African free-market think tanks. She was listed as a Forbes “20 Youngest Power Women in Africa,” a Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum, and a TED Global Africa Fellow.

Privacy is one of those topics everyone knows they should understand better—right up until it becomes urgent. Headline: it’s urgent. That's exactly why I wanted Richy Glassberg, CoFounder / CEO of SafeGuard Privacy, on the show: to tackle what may be the most complex challenge marketers face: privacy compliance at scale. Sample Page: SafeGuard Privacy Playbook Richy brings big credibility to the conversation. You’ll hear the stories of a career that included helping launch CNN.com and its digital business, co-founding the IAB, and building an advertising infrastructure still used across the industry. He likes to build things. And we’re the better for it. Because he’s THE person to help explain why privacy laws aren't just legal issues—they're structural ones. And why, if you work in marketing, advertising, media, or tech, these laws apply to you whether you realize it or not. “These laws don't care what kind of digital advertising you do. They ask one question: ‘do you have data on a consumer, and what are you doing with it?’” Richy breaks down what regulators are actually asking, why enforcement is picking up, and why brands are now responsible not only for themselves, but for their entire partner ecosystem. “Privacy doesn't have to slow growth. If you standardize it, make it auditable, and prove it once, it becomes a competitive advantage.” What I appreciate most about Richy's approach is that it's practical, and empathetic. He understands the values and the limitations of AI. He knows human attorneys need to be involved. He has made sure that SafeGuard is nimble and building systems that make compliance auditable, efficient, and—yes—actually helpful to growth, even when the rules keep changing.  We also talk about: Why inboxes listed on privacy policies are now enforcement targets How standardization saved digital advertising once before…and why it’s key to compliance now Where AI fits into privacy workflows (and where it shouldn't) Why proving compliance matters more than promising it If privacy still feels abstract or overwhelming, this conversation will give you clarity—and probably a healthy nudge to check a few things you've been meaning to look at.  Speaking of healthy, I’m so honored to have Richy on for 23 million additional reasons: he is also a founding force behind BreastCancer.org, (did we mention they are matching donations through December?) It’s now one of the most recognizable, trusted, peer-reviewed health information sites in the world. Richy put his powers to use, from grabbing the URL to creating the revenue streams that are the foundation for its viability and ability to serve more than 20 million women globally, and counting. Richy Glassberg works in a world defined by discretion and safeguards, yet remains an open book—grounded in purpose, devoted to his wife and best friend Katy, loyal to his Jack Russells, disciplined through 30 years of training in Shorin-Ryu Karate, and committed to making privacy compliance clearer, calmer, and more human.

Ian sits down with Stacey Epstein, CEO of Magnetic, where she helps brands create clear positioning and go-to-market strategies that drive lasting demand. She talks about how to succeed in interacting with the board, outlining do's and don'ts, and providing advice around defensiveness and preparation. Key Takeaways:The board is there to help you succeed. Treat them like advisors and go to them with questions and issues that you are trying to solve. Don't try to hide problems, do demonstrate your wins.There is an art to defending yourself without being defensive. Defensiveness often results in a board member feeling unheard and pushing harder. Take the note, even if you can't take the proposed solution. Ditch the slide decks and excel spreadsheets, and tell the story for board members. A unified board letter from the leadership team is a great way to do this and increases alignment before a meeting. Quote: “  We're all on the same team. We all wanna win. Like we're here together in this board meeting because we want the company to be successful and we want to win. And, . There should be no hiding of issues. In fact, that's what the board is there for. The board is there to help you get through the challenging times.”Episode Timestamps: 00:53 The Role of the Board in Marketing02:20 Navigating Board Interactions03:06 Performance and Authenticity in Board Meetings04:29 The Complexity of Marketing Roles08:51 Aligning Marketing and Sales16:56 The Importance of SDR Feedback19:13 AI and Marketing Technology Decisions21:44 Navigating Board Dynamics as a CMO21:59 Building Relationships and Credibility23:11 The Importance of Authenticity in Marketing24:22 Handling Investor Feedback Tactfully29:16 Defending Your Marketing Strategy36:03 Effective Board Communication Strategies39:10 The Value of Board LettersSponsor:Pipeline Visionaries is brought to you by Qualified.com.

PREVIEW — Joseph Sternberg — Contrasting U.S. Healthcare Innovation with European Availability Issues. Sternberg argues that while the American healthcare system suffers from significant financing inefficiencies and administrative complexity, the overall quality and availability of care remain "phenomenal" compared to Europeanhealthcare systems characterized by chronic access limitations and supply constraints. Sternberg documents that Europeconfronts a profound availability problem wherein healthcare resources are insufficient to meet aggregate patient demand, necessitating systematic rationing through extended wait times and treatment delays. Sternberg argues that Europeanpolicymakers must fundamentally reconsider resource allocation strategies to encourage innovation essential for generating superior economic and health outcomes supporting aging populations facing escalating chronic disease burdens. 1863 CHANCELORSVILLE HOSPITAL
